The Mira EV, powered by Sanyo lithium-ion battery systems, achieved a travel distance of 1,003.184 km, breaking its own Guinness World Record for the longest journey without recharging.

The trial run was provided by Japan Electric Vehicle Club (Japan EV Club), and implemented at a training school for auto racers in Ibaraki, Japan during May 22 to 23, 2010.

The Mira EV has already achieved a 555.6 km run without recharging from Tokyo to Osaka, Japan on November 17, 2009, with this travel distance of 555.6 km having been officially recognized as the Guinness World Record this past April.

The Sanyo lithium-ion battery systems employed in the Mira EV were designed by assembling 8,320 cylindrical lithium-ion batteries (18650-type) which are normally used in laptops etc, similar to the configuration used in the April record.

Sanyo continues to improve its lithium-ion battery technology as it contributes to realizing a low carbon society.
